Dos Moines lis to have a toboxcan
club this season, but whether it is free
to all remains tosbe found out. But
under our state civil rights bill very
few places are closed to us unless. it is a
few of the first class (?) Colored barber
shops, of which sDss Moines, am sorry
to say is no exception. CONSISTENCY

This is legislative year at the state
capitol. Already many are looking
anxiously for clerical and other posi-
tons in the state house. The man who
pays his hundred dollar tax on property
is trying as hard for place as the hon
est toiler who does not own hundred
dollars. The eagerness of many for po-
sitions and places in the past has
caused many to resort to all sorts Of
connivances and traducing of the fair
names of opponents which is as UNI
gallant as it is couardly.
The matrons not wishing to be left in
the club organizations, number of
them assembled Tuesday afternoon at
Mrs. Peter Jones' and organized into q
society, under the wise name Of 1.-THE
Salon Club" All who are acquainted
with the history Of this Athenian knows
the object of this society without an
explanation from me. The following
officers were elected: For president,
Mrs. Charles H. Cumby; vice president,
Mrs. Peter Jones; secretary, Mrs. Willis
W. Greene; treasurer, Mrs. J. S. Porter.
Mr.. T. E. Barton, gentleman of
many excellent qualities, is doing moro
to educate the people and break down
the barrier of ignorance than any man
in the state, by opening up first class
shop in every particular, and shaving
the public as they come without look
ing at the complexion, the same as ev-
cry man in business should do. Despite
the cry of the craft that such would
break up any shop. Mr.. Barton is do
ing as fine business as any man in the
city, employing three competent work
men all the time.
The Colorsd people are justly indig-
nant over the removal of Mr.. Braxton
Dimmitt, from the janitorship of the
Lincoln school building, last Thursday
by the board OF directors, upon q
trumped up charge, brought in by F. J.
Whiting one of the board. Mr.. Dimmitt
is stationary engineer of seventeen
years practice, and man without SUI
perior as a janitor, was charged with
burning the grates and fues of the fur.
mace, and last but not least, he was
charged with burning out the steam
pipes with steam, horrible and yet
whom numberot competent engineers
was asked for by Mr., Dimmitt to ascer.
tain the damages, it was denied him
solely on account of prejudice, ho wal
removed, and his place taken by most
unworthy pale face, whom, it is quite Ger.
tain was instrumental in originating the
report. WILLIAMSON. &
